Chapter 168: To Fight or Not to Fight?

Dane's speculation is taken seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At about ten o'clock in the night, Sir Marlin, a mighty knight of the sky, came to Dain, who had just set up camp in the middle of the night.

A few hours ago, after Sir Marlin learned of Dane's speculation, he immediately led the team himself, pulled three squads, and planned to go close to the sky above the orc army that had been detected, and carefully investigate the enemy's army configuration, personnel composition, and team number.

This information is very valuable. The disposition of the army determines how to judge the enemy's strength at the command level, and it is not rigorous to judge by relying only on the number of people. The composition of the personnel, such as which clans the orc army is made up of. The most noteworthy thing is the number of this orc force. After figuring out their numbers, you can basically figure out whether this orc is from under the Beast Blood Castle.

This time, Marin's intelligence investigation was basically exhaustive. Not only did he figure out the size and configuration of the orc's army, but in front of Dane, he was 100% sure that it completely confirmed Dane's conjecture - these orcs were indeed from the Beast Blood Castle.

To confirm the accuracy of this information, Marin lost an arm, plus a squad of falcon knights.

When the leader of the falcon knights landed in front of Dane, his face was pale, his whole body was shaky, and his right arm, wrapped in a rag, was still bleeding, staining half of the falcon's body under his crotch red.

"Cecilia! Cecilia! Hurry up and save someone! Why are you the only one coming back? Dane asked, hurrying to beckon Cecilia over.

Sir Marlin smiled miserably and said, "The squad is dead, the other brothers have already gone to report to Morno, I can't support it that far, come to you first, and see if I can save a life." ”

"You've come right." Dane nodded.

The high-ranking priest Cecilia came to the side, and after several successive magic spells to stop the bleeding and heal and remove the pain, Sir Marlin's face was bloody again.

"Can you get your arm back?" Dane asked.

Cecilia shook her head and said, "I can't help it. If Sir Marlin can get his arm back, he may be able to use the spell of [Severance Renewal] to connect it to him. But the complete [Rebirth of Severed Limbs], that's a six-ring spell, I can't do it. ”

Marin smiled, as if he didn't care much about the arm he lost: "Forget it, I can't find it back, my hand, I guess it's still in the belly of the bipedal wyvern." ”

"Is it so tragic?"

"yes." Ma Lin sighed with emotion, "Old opponent, the Rib Clan's Two-Legged Wyvern Hundred Team, if it weren't for the fact that more than half of their numbers were killed by us when they were in the Beast Blood Castle, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

"Can you be sure they're 100% from the Beast Blood Castle?"

"Absolutely. We fought with these orcs for more than half a year in the Beast Blood Castle, and I broke my hand, but my eyes are not blind, and I must recognize them. ”

"That'...... Does this mean that the orc army has withdrawn? ”

"I'm not sure yet." Marin shook his head and said, "The follow-up troops haven't detected it yet, and it is estimated that we don't have the ability to investigate." If the orc army weren't here, we wouldn't be able to find it. If the orc army is here, it is estimated that when we find it, we will have to face the siege of an unknown number of bipedal wyverns, and we will definitely not be able to come back to deliver the news. ”

"What about your own opinion?"

"Don't you have a pretty positive idea? And asked me what I was doing. ”

"You're more familiar with the orc army."

"I think you guessed right."

"I think so."

……

Dane's guess was that the main army of 20,000 orcs had all retreated. Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to send out an army of only 4,000 men to the rear to sweep away, which would undoubtedly be a foolish thing.

Think about it, an army of 4,000 people is already a large force, after such a force is separated, the military strength left in the Beast Blood Castle will be reduced by one-fifth all of a sudden, isn't it true that the orcs are not afraid that Chief Inspector Ou Ze will immediately take his army out of the Beast Blood Castle after realizing it?

The comparison between the orc army and the governor of Ozer in terms of military strength was originally between the two of them. As long as the orcs dare to do the division of troops, Ou Ze will attack from the Beast Blood Castle, plus multiple strongholds, castles, and towns on the entire defense line at the same time, it is completely possible to lock all these orcs on the defense line of the Beast Blood Castle, and then eat and wipe them clean.

And whether the 4,000 soldiers who were separated and returned to the Eastern Wasteland could take out Morno's Crusade Army was still a matter of two words!

According to this analysis, leaving the main force to die in the Beast Blood Castle and then splitting a force back to deal with Morno must be an extremely bad choice for the orcs. Of course, it would be a great thing if the leaders of the three major clans of the orcs were all amused in their heads and really gave such an order. As long as the Crusaders can withstand the attack of these 4,000 orcs, or simply defeat them, and then go back to fight with Governor Oze to beat the water dogs who are locked in the defensive line of the human castle, they can completely wipe out the main force of the three major orc clans that have threatened Schindlaire's eastern frontier for decades.

But all in all, no matter what the facts are, the current forces of Dane and the Pure Sword Mercenary Group are unlikely to stop there.

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Dane hurriedly kicked all the soldiers out of bed, quickly packed up the temporary territory, and led the whole army to the north again.

On the afternoon of January 17, the army led by Dane finally joined up with Morno's army. At the same time, there was also an army of more than 500 people led by Chapell.

The reunited Eastern Crusade Army regained its strength to more than 2,500 people. Győr's Smir mercenary group did not return for a long time, and in the evening, they received bad news - Smir was bitten on the ass by the orcs on the way to retreat, and the orc army of 4,000 people turned around and swallowed the entire mercenary group in one fell swoop, and Győr himself was nowhere to be found.

The Great War is about to start, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army will lose a wave of blood first. The Smir Mercenary Regiment is not important, after all, the number of people is here, and the size of five hundred people is equivalent to one-sixth of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

With 3,000 people, Morno dared to fight hard with the orc army and strive to win the battle. Two thousand five hundred against four thousand...... Morno had to weigh up.
